Amused, confused and disgusted passengers have revealed some of the most unappetising in-flight meals they’ve been subjected to on a plane with pictures posted on Twitter and Instagram.

The snaps have ranged from several unidentifiable, sloppy masses and questionable pasta with “hard pellet-like things” to one British Airways meal described as “the most disgusting plane food ever” as well as a sad, skimpy cheese sandwich from Virgin Australia. One disgruntled Virgin passenger once sent "the world's best passenger complaint letter" to Richard Branson, which went viral after it surfaced, in which he described his "culinary journey of hell" on a flight from Mumbai to Heathrow.

One user posted a picture of his meal for others to guess what it could be, while another user, williamrae27, admitted the meal he had "tasted okay" even though he couldn't identify what he actually was eating.
